... with all drives in your path.<br><br> <br><br>Here are some pictures of the subway station a block from my house. It is a massive three story structure, with marble, art, glass fittings, a beautiful glass dome, hundreds of feet up. Here are some useful signs for subway riders. Gotta love whoever created Icons!<br><br> <br><br>Oh here is a picture from the street right outside the gate closest to my house. Look ...

... might have to wait for a few weekends.<br><br>I got my letters of reference from two previous supervisors, all fantastically written. I did enjoy reading their opinions of me and my friend and previous supervisor Deirdre, is on record of saying in the letter &#8220;He took direction very well and demonstrated a sense of humor, a necessary quality given that he was the only male on the team!&#8221; Heh, heh, heh. Me and my team of married chicks!<br><br>Thanks for reading

... whatsoever. We didn't know what to do and just stood there hoping someone would come to help us. We were very surprised when the machine opened from the back and this guy pops up to say something in Korean, we didn't understand of course, but then after a few button presses he says "OK now" and it worked again. So we managed to get our tickets and forgetting that we were going to get tickets, we spent most of the money we had on us. <br ...

... nearby playing guitar. I walked up and he was GREAT. 24 years old, playing an accoustic electric, just for fun not asking for money (later he told me he wants to own a coffe shop and play in it every day... he was legit.)<br><br>Any way, he couldn't be nicer and after 2 songs he insisted I play and he video taped the whole thing on his ...

... concerned parents (well probably more so mom) informed me Sunday night. Not really sure what folks in the west hear on a day to day basis, but I can assure you that "life goes on here." The fact that I am a mere 45 minutes from the border and a close satellite of Seoul assures that the large number of rockets aimed out of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea would ensure a treacherous fate, but again life goes on. In my often critical critique of ...

... faith and something bigger, I am brought to a halt as I continue to read and study evolution and the poetry of Richards Dawkins. I always considered there to be something more. Not in terms of god sitting upon a throne in the sky, but some sort of magic or thing beyond our understanding. Yet grinding to a halt I read more and more about how we have come to be on this rock called Earth, a petri dish that has come to be ...

... witness a ceremony completely in Korean, with mandatory spontaneous applause coupled with permanent fake smiles on all my co-workers' faces, hoping to impress the big wigs. These scenarios definitely highlight the main differences between Korean culture and the West's. We feel aggrieved at having to give up our free time to attend unpaid (and unnecessary) events like the one above, whereas the Koreans just plod on and do anything they are ...

My first stop was Changdeok Palace, which is a palace set within a large park in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty and because of its location east of Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeokgung is also referred to as the East Palace. The literal meaning of Changdeokgung is "Palace of Prospering Virtue".   Changdeokgung was the favored palace of many kings of the Joseon Dynasty and retained ...
